Dear Sirs. Obviously FreeBSD supports SecureRPC by some facilities to run at startup time. In our NIS/YP domain the NIS master server runs rpc.ypupdated and keyserv daemon, each user has an entry in /etc/publickey and there is the /etc/.rootkey file generated. On NIS master server I can change all keys without any problem, but from slave servers and clients, all running keyserv properly, I'm not able to change the key of a user (especially of mine); I receive the following error message (on a client in our domain): ohartman: /homes/ohartman: chkey Generating new key for unix.ID_No@Domainname Password: Retype password: Sending key change request to NIS_master chkey: unable to update NIS database (7): Local resource allocation failure In the master server's /etc/publickey file exists the user 'nobody' so it should possible to create new keys and especially change existent keys (as described in several additional literature and some netresources). It is confusing me that chkey is about to be creating a new key, not changing an existing key. And more confusing is the fact, that a local resource allocation failure occurs. The basic question is, whether SecureRPC has the full functionality in FreeBSD or not, especially SecureNFS in that way. I miss an export option for NFS-exported, securized filesystems in /etc/exports and I miss the /etc/netid file which is said to be present when SecureRPC is implemented in FreeBSD (there is no manpage for netid although mentioned in mknetid(8). -- MfG O.
